Know before you buy
Yes, the case features an o-ring seal and neoprene gasket that make it completely watertight and dustproof when properly latched.
The interior foam is pre-scored in small cubes, allowing you to easily pluck out sections to create a custom-fitted cavity for your specific gear, ensuring it stays snug and protected from vibration.
The valve balances internal air pressure while keeping water out. This is essential if you are traveling by plane or moving between significant changes in altitude, as it prevents the case from becoming vacuum-sealed shut.
Absolutely. It is constructed from an Ultra High Impact structural copolymer that is both chemical-resistant and corrosion-proof, making it suitable for demanding industrial or field conditions.
The case uses durable ABS latches designed to stay securely fastened under impact. They provide a tight, reliable closure that won't accidentally pop open if the case is dropped or jostled.
